My sister is a recent graduate of high school, so, naturally, an open house was held in her honor. My other sister and I were in charge of decorating, and after months of preparation, the result was very pleasing (to say the least). Our main goal was to keep our guests entertained, since open houses are usually incredibly boring. All you can do is eat and look at the graduate's accomplishments! We wanted to think outside the box, so we added outdoor twister, a candy bar, and various yard games. The color scheme was aqua and red, with off-white accents. The theme we were going for was a vintage garden party, and we tried to accomplish that by making coffee filter gardenias and pinning red plaid or aqua fabric squares to the tablecloths for the centerpieces. Across the tent, we hung handmade triangle flags made from old books from thrift stores. Take a gander at our decorations.

So what do y'all think? It was so fun to plan everything out and see it all come together. Creating all the decorations was my favorite part. Now I'm off to figure out how to make flowers from some plastic tablecloths I received today! Should be an adventure!
